Just ask any Mumbaikar or Pune resident to suggest a spot visit during the weekend and the answer in unison would be “Mahabaleshwar.” Yes, Maharashtra’s very own hill station that gives the citizens of Maharashtra a cool respite from the otherwise, hot, and humid climate the state gets all year round. Further, if you have watched the movie, Baahubali, Bol Bachchan, or Dabangg 2, or even Chennai Express, you would be able to spot them near Wai or at various other parts of Mahabaleshwar. With scenic spots all around, the place is a photographer’s delight.

Do you remember the magnum opus, “Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani” and fall in love with the palace hotel where Kalki Koechlin gets married and where Ranbir and Deepika had plenty of romantic scenes? That is City Palace of Udaipur for you, which has now become a hotel and a hotspot destination wedding hub in Rajasthan. If you love grandeur, and if you wish to lose yourself in the historical architecture, and serene lakes, then Udaipur is the right city for you. The intricate architecture, majestic hotels, lakes that stand silently against the onslaught of time, you will fall in love with the place.

Those who have visited Mumbai at least once, even if for a fleeting period would surely have fallen in love with the place. Yes, it is crowded, noisy, and possibly even dirty at some parts, but one cannot deny the bustling nerve of energy it sends. It is like a live wire all day, all year.
